In summer 2020, these three students (left to right: Alex from Azusa Pacific University, Erik from Indiana Wesleyan University, and Emily from Covenant College) all enrolled in Au Sable’s online Wetlands course. COVID cancelled the in-person component of the course, so the students spent a week in August of this year on our campus in Northern Michigan completing the necessary training, field work and exams to earn a certificate in wetland delineation from Au Sable. Perhaps the best part of this story is that they have now graduated from college and are ALL EMPLOYED at different environmental consulting agencies.

Congratulations to Alex, Erik and Emily for earning your certification and landing a job that allows you to serve, protect and restore God’s earth!

And thanks to professor Heath Garris of Covenant College (featured in the photo on the far right) for teaching the course and leading the certification process.
